            From 1918 till 1962 the country was a Belgian colony, which explains why the former pattern of the Sabena (the Belgian aircraft company) has inspired the flag, displayin this so peculiar & unic saltire. This one is the latest version of many used since the independence. White is for peace, red stands for the struggle against both Germans & Belgians, green is for hope. Three stars embody the motto "Unity Work Progress". They also stand for the 3 constitutin peoples of Burundi : the Hutus, the Tutsis, the Twas. This version was adopted after the overthrow of the monarchy. The present pattern was adopted on 28 JUNE 1967.
